* "A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence." ~Pam Brown* "When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes." ~William Shakespeare

* "Look back at our struggle for freedom,

Trace our present day's strength to it's source;

And you'll find that man's pathway to glory,

Is strewn with the bones of the horse."~Author Unknown

* "In riding a horse we borrow freedom." ~Helen Thomson

* "Again the early-morning sun was generous with its warmth. All the sounds dear to a horseman were around me - the snort of the horses as they cleared their throats, the gentle swish of their tails, the tinkle of irons as we flung the saddles over their backs - little sounds of no importance, but they stay in the unconscious library of memory. ~Wynford Vaughan-Thomas You know horses are smarter than people. You never heard of a horse going broke betting on people. " ~Will Rogers
